| WOW, they are important, but in what order? 01-21-13: FossdaJust picked up a valhalla power cord for a very good price last week that is being reterminated to RCA and I can't wait to put it between phonostage and preamp.@Rower30, Ketchup was refering to this line from Fossda's post, not any... | |
| Amp Recommedation Well, I would recommend that you consider replacing your preamp too, as Zd542 also noticed, this is a weak link. A Krell KAV-300i or Plinius 9100 integrated amp would be a nice upgrade over your Adcom seperates. If stuck on your Adcom preamp, and ... | |
| Amp Recommedation On top of Mechans excellent questions, are you planning on keeping the Adcom preamp too? Would you consider having an integrated amp replace both your Adcom amp and preamp? If so, what is your budget? | |
| Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates? Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?Absolutely! Many will even out-perform seperates, especially when you are looking at lower price ranges, like $2K. In most cases a $2K integrated amp will outperform a $1K preamp and a $1K amp, be... | |
| Turntable setup under $2000? Obviously you will get the most bang for your buck if you buy used and remain patient. A great deal may not be here this week, or even next. Look through the used market even if not buying, just to get a feel of the market. Less than a year ago I ... | |
| The Demise of the Hi-End Audio Store Chayro, based on your pictures, I remember a USA manufacturer telling me years ago that 75% of their market was in Asia. I always found it ironic that we Americans tend to buy Asian gear while the Asians buy American gear. I guess it's all about s... | |
| How much to replace a new laser on the Denon 3910? I don't know that I agree with you Reb1208. If I were to follow your advice I'd spend $1200 to buy a 6-8 year old used cd player to use for it's drive mechanism as a back up. That somehow, THAT is a better idea than having a brand new laser on han... | |
| Transfiguration Phoenix @Toronto416, look at your spec sheet, if it says internal impedence is <2 ohms and the serial number is 2400 or higher, it's the Phoenix-S. | |
| How much to replace a new laser on the Denon 3910? Call Denon America and see(pray) if they have them in stock. I have a highly modified Marantz and had the same concerns. I called Marantz America and found that they still had them in stock for around $90. I bought one even though I don't need one... | |
| Which is better Rega Planar P9 vs RP8 Only time will tell. In many cases newer is better, but in many cases it's not. I'm sure the manufacturer will try to convince you that the RP8 is better than the R9, that's their job. I've also seen cases where the top of the line was not a manuf... | |
| It's all over now, baby blue. Or is it not? Swampwalker is right, enjoy these moments, they go by quicker than you'll believe. Before you know it they will be....teenagers!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!My 3 boys are in their 20's now, and I never really made any changes. My wife stayed home with th... | |
| What kind of power cord comes with expensive gear @Onhwy61, the upgraded fuses is a good question, because many of these manufacturers are already using exotic, boutique caps, resistors, diodes, internal wire, etc. The fuses fall more into that category, not costing hundreds, or thousands of doll... | |
| Good cartridge for the VPI Classic 1 turntable. Many VPI owners recommend Dynavectors or Lyra cartridges. For $700 you are not going to get much of a phono stage, if you're lucky you may find an old Threshold or Forte phono preamp. Personally, I feel that if you are looking to spend less than $... | |
| Thor websight Thor has been out of business for several years now as far as I know. | |
| My Dynavector 10 X 5 Stylus fell off now what? Gotta watch them IPA's when your spinning licorice pizza Steve! |
